How does billing work? Return to Top

DoneDone bills you when you first subscribe or upgrade to a new plan and then at the beginning of each subsequent month. If you’re new to DoneDone, you’ll get 30 days free on any plan. At the end of 30 days, you’ll be asked to provide credit card information.

Why isn’t DoneDone accepting my credit card? Return to Top

Are you from outside the United States? Chances are that you may need to contact the bank or institution where you got your credit card and let them know that DoneDone is a real business and you approve the payment. It happens. If you’re from the US, probably the same thing. This seems to happen less than about 4% of the time and always makes us blush.

How do I cancel DoneDone? Return to Top

To cancel your DoneDone account, the account owner clicks “Manage Account Settings” and can cancel from there. Note: Canceling and billing for the new DoneDone will not be active until 10/15/2011. In the meantime, there is no need to cancel. If you choose not to continue DoneDone at the end of October, your account will be automatically cancelled.

Do you offer refunds? Return to Top

Nope. DoneDone is a month-to-month, pay-as-you-go service so we don’t provide refunds. You are billed for the remainder of the current month when you signup or upgrade a trial to a paid account. Then, you will be billed the first of every month for the service thereafter. You can cancel the service at any time, and you won’t be charged the monthly service fee again. However, you are responsible for any charges already incurred.

What’s considered an active user? Return to Top

Active users are DoneDone users who are assigned to at least one project. You pay to have a certain number of users using your DoneDone account. If you know that some users aren’t participating, and you’d like to inactivate them, just remove all of their project permissions by going to Companies & People » Company » User.

What are companies? Return to Top

Companies are teams, businesses, clients, or just groups of users you’d like to organize. Typically, there will be more than one company or team working on issues. Clients, development teams, and so on all would fit the ‘company’ description. You can apply project permissions on a company basis or individual user basis.

Can I change which company a person belongs to? Return to Top

Click through to the user’s profile (Companies & People » Company Name » User’s name) and select which company you’d like the user to be moved to. Note that this person’s project permissions will not be changed, nor will the company’s permissions to which the user was moved.

How do I delete a user? Return to Top

Click through to the company the user belongs to (Companies & People » Company Name), locate the person under “People”, and click “Remove”. Note that prior to the user being deleted, you’ll be able to re-assign all of their issues to another user.

How do I archive a person? Return to Top

Remove a person from all projects via Companies & People » Company » User, and this person will become inactive. Inactive users do not count against your active user count.

What are release builds? Return to Top

Release builds allow an account owner or admin to release a whole bunch of issues for retest at the same time. This is as opposed to labeling issues as “ready for retest” in a piecemeal fashion. To enable Release Builds, click “Project Settings” from any project and enable “Release Builds”. Then click “Create Release Build” from the right hand side of the page. You’ll notice that the “ready for retest” status will no longer be available to users as a selection. Instead, they’ll mark issues as “ready for next release”. Once you send a Release Build out, all issues labeled “ready for next release” will automatically be re-labeled as “ready for retest”.

  • Third line of body (and all lines after): The description of the issue.
